Those of you who watched the 2nd episode of the new 7pm show starring felicia chin will find the following story familiar.. :)
In the show, felicia chin is an insurance agent. On valentine's day, she was supposed to sign/confirm a deal/policy with a client called Anthony but she cancelled it for her boyfriend. At the dinner place, she happened to see her colleague, Amy, trying to steal the client to seal the deal by claiming that she was 'told' to come in place of Felicia.
Felicia found ways to get her boyfriend to go home first (cos it was coincidentally her father's birthday and he was waiting at home) and she confronted the 2 of them. After realising that it was Amy who was trying to 'steal' the ownership of the policy, Anthony and Felicia had a good chat.
The next morning, Anthony called to confirm that he wanted to sign a policy worth 1.2 million dollars! Of course, Amy wasnt very pleased after their boss praised felicia, so she tried to sabotage her by taking photo of a card that Anthony sent to say thank you and sent it to her boyfriend.
At lunch, the boyfriend was quite upset to know Anthony was the reason why she came home late and he snapped at felicia. Felicia defended herself by saying her career is very important to her now and she needed her boyfriend to trust her especially when she has very competitive colleagues. They parted abruptly and Felicia returned to her office.
Felicia confronted Amy about the sabotage and asked her why she had to attempt to steal her client and 挑拨离间 between she and her boyfriend. While Amy was mean towards her, Felicia's boyfriend appeared and said that actually he was there with her when Anthony signed the policy. In addition, he bought cakes for tea break and claimed that it was felicia who bought them as a treat for everyone in office and left them behind accidentally after they had lunch just now!
I was quite moved by what the boyfriend did. Not only did he think about what Felicia told him she needed, he acted upon it. He was there to defend her and the trust there is something quite admirable.
Though this excerpt may be a little 断章取义 but the point i'm trying to make here is I think being able to trust each other is very important in a relationship. It can be very painful to find out that u are being trusted less than how u're trusting.
Interestingly, i just realised also that there is a thin line between not trusting a person and always wanting to know in detail what a person is up to.
Alright.. blog again soon!
